Ingredients

  • 2-1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats gluten-free, if needed
  • 1 cup peanut butter crunchy or smooth (other nut butters will work)
  • 3 tablespoons honey use maple syrup or agave for vegan
  • 1/2-1 cup chocolate chips I like Enjoy Life Brand. They are vegan, soy-free, dairy-free and nut-free (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sprinkles + more for decorating optional

Instructions

  • Combine oats, peanut butter, honey and 1/4 cup sprinkles in a large bowl until oats are moistened. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Roll mix into balls (about 1-1/2 inches). If mixture is not holding together, add more peanut butter and/or honey. If mixture is too wet, add more oats.
  • Place balls on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper or parchment paper and refrigerate for 15 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, warm chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl in 15-30 second increments, stirring each time. Once chocolate is melted, use a spoon to drizzle chocolate over balls or roll balls in chocolate using two forks.
  • Add sprinkles to the balls, if desired.

Notes

  • If you or your family has peanut allergies or if there are peanut allergies in your child’s class; use any other nut butter.
  • I used crunchy peanut butter, but smooth will work wonderfully too.
  • If you want to keep things vegan, use agave or maple syrup rather than honey.
  • To keep this snack super clean and healthy, leave out the sprinkles and chocolate.
  • If you’re a peanut butter lover, like myself, you’ll love these with just the oats, peanut butter and honey.
